Lighting
Inside the mine, lighting is a 24/7 operation with no time for power interruption. We deliver complete lighting solutions designed to
meet both NEC® and IEC standards at the highest quality, safety, and optical performance for both hazardous and non-hazardous
areas. The lifetime of the LED luminaires can last up to seven years with no lamp maintenance and allow for large ranges in voltage
drops without losing light. Our HID products are instant on/off. We combine reliability and expertise into every product, providing
you with labor and maintenance savings, simplified installation, and improved productivity.

A mine in Nevada recently turned to Cooper Crouse-Hinds to reduce their high maintenance costs by
retrofitting the lighting on their electric shovels. Extreme vibration and constant use resulted in their
existing incandescent and fluorescent lighting systems breaking down or burning out within just days.
To solve this problem, the shovels were retrofitted with 14 Vaporgard LED Luminaires. Six of these were
installed underneath the shovel to provide illumination into and around the tracks. The shovels operate
24/7 and to-date there has not been a single lamp failure, significantly reducing their maintenance costs.
Additionally, the Vaporgard LED luminaires provide an 85% reduction in energy consumption versus the
old 200W incandescent system.

After years of use, Cameco McArthur River and Cigar Lake noticed that its current lighting products not
only required maintenance, but weren’t as energy efficient or environmentally friendly as other options on
the market. In an effort to reduce maintenance, downtime, and overall energy usage, the Cameco team
began investigating new LED solutions to replace the existing HID fixtures. Their investigation led them
to Cooper Lighting’s line of efficient Lumark Wal-Pak LED luminaires. Combining architectural style with
rugged construction, the high-performing Lumark Wal-Pak LED luminaires are designed to last up to
50,000 hours while offering up to 90% in energy and maintenance savings. Installed in various locations,
including the underground mine as well as on their maintenance building, a total of more than 300 LED
wall packs proved to be the ideal solution to meet Cameco’s goals with a savings of approximately
$368,000 annually.

A large gold mine in Nevada is implementing a plan designed to triple their gold production over a threeyear period. The mine was up against increasing environmental regulations and needed transformers to
fill their power needs while keeping within these parameters. In addition, they were challenged with highharmonic current from the mine’s large Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs).
The customer immediately embraced the environmentally preferred benefits of Cooper Power Systems
Envirotran™ transformers filled with Envirotemp™ FR3™ fluid—a bio-based, sustainable, natural ester
dielectric coolant. Working with the mine’s engineering team, Cooper Power Systems was able to resolve
the high-harmonic current and poor power factor by recommending and applying a filter-type capacitor
bank to the system. In addition, Cooper Power Systems provided other medium voltage equipment
including station-class surge arresters and overhead switchgear.

The Quik-Spec™ Coordination Panelboard (QSCP) from Cooper Bussmann simplifies selective
coordination in a fully fused system using published fuse ampacity ratio tables. This eliminates the lengthy
and costly coordination studies required with circuit breakers. Available in 30 to 1200 amp versions, the
QSCP uses a wide 1-100A fuse range to closely match fuse ampacity with loads using either the fastacting or time-delay CUBEFuse. Further, using the CUBEFuse means that fault current events do not
require the CCPB branch disconnect to be tested and recalibrated as is the code requirement for circuit
breakers. With an up to a 40% smaller footprint, the QSCP can be easily configured with 1-, 2-, and
3-pole branch disconnects to meet specific electrical system needs. For use in Class I, Div. 2 hazardous
environments, Cooper Bussmann can coordinate with sister division, Cooper Crouse-Hinds and provide a
custom solution featuring the 30 to 400A QSCP inside an explosion-proof enclosure.

Macey Coupling Systems must withstand the day-to-day harshness and effects of hardrock, heavy
machinery, coal dust, and wet, muddy conditions. Macey Mining products are designed, manufactured,
and certified to the highest industry standards including IECEx and ANZEx. The Macey range is divided
into two categories—bolted and restrained. The restrained product range is used to supply and monitor
power to portable equipment such as shuttle cars, continuous miners, drill rigs (jumbo’s), etc. in
underground, open-cut coal, and metalliferous mines. The restrained products cover a complete range
up to 425 Amps and 3300 Volts. The bolted product range is used to supply main power to a pit or to
a section isolator, transformer, or other fixed installations in underground coal mines such as lighting,
pumps, and lasers. In open-cut mines these couplers are used to power draglines, drills and shovels. The
bolted series covers a range up to 800 Amps and 11,000 Volts. Whichever mining coupling system you
require, whatever the situation, Cooper has the solution with Macey.

the 1500 man portable accommodation, kitchens, and communal areas for fly-in and fly-out workers. Due
to Cooper’s unique addressable panel capabilities, the client was provided with an engineered solution,
saving both installation time and material cost. The control equipment is a combined fire alarm control
panel and graphical interface that provides detailed, precise information of any event that occurs on
the site. This will allow the emergency response team to take immediate action in the quickest possible

conveyor systems for operation and safety, providing alarm and status data from dragline excavators,
level monitoring and pump control at tailing ponds and wastewater facilities, and even safety critical
automated collection of mine slope wall data for storage and analysis. The multiple I/O node extends
communications to sensors and actuators in local, remote, or difficult-to-reach locations. Designed with
a long-range, license-free 900MHz wireless transceiver, it can provide IP-based mesh networking across
sprawling mine sites.
